    My husband used to work in a restaurant, so likes restaurant style food, full of flavor. He really liked this recipe, even poured some of the excess juices over the rice!! - 1/5/10

    I used only half the cayenne, and added some sliced mushrooms and shallots on top of the spinach. The fish was excellent. - 9/16/07

    Incredible!
    Absolutely love this recipe -- we have it 3-4 times per month. We add a touch more lime juice and a wee bit of kosher salt for added flaver. - 7/30/07
